'LEGO™-like' conveyors reduce package manufacturer's footprint

Modular conveyors at Rexam perform more efficiently, while using fewer resources and creating less pollution and waste.

Pw 51758 Union Missouri 2

Committed to increasing product value while generating less waste from production processes, minimizing its impact on nature, and reducing energy usage, global consumer packaging group Rexam has successfully improved year-to-year in doing more with less, the company has announced.

At Rexam’s Union, MO, 24/7 plant, which produces 1.2 billion therma-formed high-barrier food containers per year, a zero scrap-waste system is in place. “We’ve always been able to reuse our scrap, but the DynaCon conveyors make it a lot easier,” says Mark Borzillo, plant manager. 

DynaCon modular conveyor systems, from Dynamic Conveyor Corp., give plastics manufacturers turnkey custom conveyor systems from standard modules that can be reconfigured in minutes. At the Missouri facility, modular conveyors transport chopped web scrap from a trim press, through a metal detector module, to the granulator for regrinding into usable-size pellets, where it is reintroduced to the extruders.
